Melling provides timing belts for both domestic and import vehicle applications. Each belt is manufactured from quality synthetic polymers to provide resistance to heat, stretching, belt shear, climate conditions, and abrasion to assure dependable operation throughout the belts service life. Melling recommends a new timing belt with every engine rebuild as well as periodic belt replacement for high mileage vehicles. Belt replacement is a small investment compared to an engine replacement due to a damaged, stretched or broken timing belt.
